The complaint was probably made to UEFA as it will get peoples attention if UEFA sanction are place on the club and therefore get the chants to stop and everyone wins.
Thomas I was at the game ,main stand as per usual can honestly say it was as a quiet a European game I've ever attended ( that is quite a few), paddy Mccourts Fenian army was belted out , but can honestly say I never heard ooh a up the ra
But the club clearly believe it was heard UEFA and the Police also, don't you think you are most likely wrong? Why would anyone have a problem with the Paddy song?
UEFA sanctions appear to have had a impact at Ibrox, not that I can say with any authority as I haven't been to Ibrox recently.
Celtic were charged with illicit singing, at no stage have Celtic or uefa said it was for ooh up the ra, but you guys on here seem certain it was , can you please tell me where you get your information from ??? . Ps I am not supporting the idiots that are damaging our club
Celtic released a statement clarifing it was the chant "oh ah up the ra" that they had been sanctioned for, rebel bhoy has also posted something today which say the police will take action to this particular chant. What more do you need?
I thought Celtic had to appeal to be told what they had been charged with,Celtic have released a statement hopefully it will put an end to these embarrassing ad ons , last week at Perth it was back to ooh a samaras thankfully
we all thought that. Celtic even intimated as much. They clarified afterwards (although before the Udinese game). Ooh aah up the Ra is not an "add on"
I think there is some misrepresentation going on here. UEFA hearing, Dev, was not heard under Scottish law, the hearsay evidence was not contested. The Celtic club issued a statement saying they were surprised that they were not told why the previous acclaimed fans were now accused of illicit singing and they had not been informed.
Tim Wharton , Bob Valentine , Jim mccluskey , Bobby Tait , ,Hugh Dallas Rev Mike mccurry , Dougie Macdonald Wullie Collum and Stuart Dougall these guys should go down as Rangers legends , the damage they done to our club and the help they've given our rivals during their refereeing careers
Did Celtic issue the alleged statement before after UEFA made the decision. If it was after UEFA made the statement then it would appear that Celtic were remiss not to attend the hearing. Did the Celtic statement say that the Celtic board member (s) heard the specific chant or did they say that UEFA informed them afterwards what the chant was. I know our CEO, who refers to some of our fellow fans as bastards said, after the fine was announced that it must be serious because of the size of the fine. This indicates that at that time he did not know what the chanting was. Mr Lawell may then have contacted UEFA and was told what the police had reported the chanting to be. So the good name of all Celtic fans has been tarnished by the uncontested possibly hearsay evidence. This has then brought further shame to our club by the hoisting of banner and letting off of flares. Celtic fans have worked very hard in the years up to Seville to be acclaimed the best in Europe and the best in the World. Note it was the Celtic fans, not the board or management that got the acclaim. Would it not be a shame to all decent Celtic fans if the Strathclyde Police aided by a compliant board took it from us. Remember Strathclyde Police have either never heard, or never acted on the evil, bigoted singing and chanting from Ipox.
It was only this year ,March, Rangers to a man sang their dodgy songs , not one or two idiots but 20000 of them at the league cup final , they got thanked for creating a family atmosphere by the Scottish minister Kenny Macaskill
